Considering the big release this week is Master of Illusion, we figured there would be no better anthem to herald the beginning of the magic act than Europe's "Final Countdown." Gob taught us many things, but most importantly he taught us the best magic is done to Europe's masterpiece.
So, will you be honing your skills at illusion or do you have some other game you plan on sinking your teeth into? What are you playing?
Much like the child above, we found ourselves completely ravaging all parts of our turkey, dining on its meat and eventually collapsing in our chair. It probably didn't help that we had some wine with dinner, since the two made us incredibly drowsy. We still can barely move, as we type this post out by using a long stick and slapping it against our keyboard while we lay on the couch. We're not sure if we're going to be able to move until Sunday, at least.
What about all of you who celebrated the holiday with us? How are you holding up? And, for our International readers who don't celebrate, what will you be playing this weekend
Why would you need the baby oil? To grease up that buff chest of yours, of course! As you navigate many a hostile environment, keep your hands clenched tight around your trusty gun. Oh, gun ... how you never let us down, keep us safe at night. This is our gun, there are many like it, but this one is ours.
There were some other interesting releases this week, but for us, none ranks higher than Contra 4. But, maybe you're of the mind that you'd rather play something else? We can't possibly understand why, but we'll promise to try, if you let us. So, what are you playing?
There is really only one game that came up on our radar of releases this week and it's none other than Dementium: The Ward. We like the survival-horror genre as it is, not to mention that this looks like the first engaging FPS game on the DS (not to say that Metroid Prime Hunters wasn't engaging, but the single-player was a bit lacking). We haven't a had a chance to pick the game up yet, but you can bet that we will be doing so immediately.
What about you all? Are you planning on picking up the game or are you playing something else?
As we said in our initial releases post this week, there's really only one game of importance releasing this week, Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trials and Tribulations. We know you're playing it, you know we'll be playing it (first thing's first: remove this ball and chain from our ankle), so why dance around the subject? Tell us how far you are, tell us how you're finding it or tell us how you plan on scraping together the dough to eventually get it.
If you're one of those freaks who are playing something else, let us know about that too!
Of this week's releases, Flash Focus: Vision Training in Minutes a Day ranked as the title we were most interested in. While we have reported on the game for quite some time now, we couldn't really form judgment until we had it in our hands and we plan on doing just that this weekend.
But, who cares about us? What about you, fine reader? What do you plan on playing this weekend? New game or do you have another title you've been chipping away at?
This week's releases mark a sequel to the first Touch Detective game from Atlus. Aside from Looney Tunes: Duck Amuck, it's the highest profile title on the list, for us at least. In fact, we're feeling like we're in the mood to solve a mystery, but with so many games coming out in the next few months, we're not sure if our budget will allow it. In fact, we should probably go check our finances right now.
While we're doing that, why not let us know what you folks will be playing this weekend?
Let's think of a release that most of you are probably knee-deep in? Tough one, right? Well, we're fairly confident that it's none other than ... The Legend of Spyro: The Eternal Night. Yup, out of the long list of games that released, we're absolutely certain that's the game you're playing. If we had to bet body parts on it, we would be rich in organs.
So, tell us of your adventures with Spyro and how much fun you're having with it. Because, you are. That's what you're playing. We know it is.
While us folk who reside in the states haven't got much in the way of new games to play this week, Japan is getting a "game" we've been dying to get our hands on: Bartender DS. Sure, we can do what we always do and go down to the store and drop a couple bucks on the cheapest, most foul-tasting beer and get plastered, but variety is the spice of life. We'd actually like to know how to prepare a drink or two, so we can avoid looking like a total scumbag in social situations. Oh well, looks like we won't be able to do that for some time.
Please, take your fingers and cross them. We have a plan, a most dangerous of ideas: we're going to go out into the world and purchase a video game. In case you were wondering, we're going to snag ourself a copy of Sonic Rush Adventure. Looking at this week's releases, it's the only title that appeals to us.
What about you, fine reader? Will you be picking up a new game to play this weekend, or will it be something else? What are you playing?
This week's releases included a little game by the name of Jam Sessions. Oh, and another called Drawn to Life. And we're not even including all of the wonderful releases hitting other territories. So, there's plenty of titles available to gamers looking for something new to play.
Will you get your jam on, or do you plan to release your inner artist? What will you be playing?
The U.S. doesn't get much in the way of new releases this week, but that doesn't mean there isn't cause for celebration. Why, our very favorite franchise is headed to the land down under. If that isn't a cause for celebration, we don't know what is. But, then again, if you're a dedicated DS gamer in the region, there's a good chance you already imported it.
Of this week's U.S. releases, there's really only one title of note for us: Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08. The golfing genre of games has always captivated us, as we enjoy driving and putting on virtual fairways and greens, but in the real world we couldn't swing a club to save our life.
Will you be hitting the links, or do you plan on giving another game (or games) a go? What are you playing?
This week's obvious release is none other than the sequel to Nintendo's non-game, Brain Age. Sure, there are some other titles on the list, but we're assuming most of you already have gotten or will be getting your hands on Brain Age 2. Does your brain need it, or have you just been playing Brain Age this entire time, every day, to keep in shape for the release?
This week's long list of releases is just that: long. It's got sweet titles like Call of Duty 4, Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker and LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga. Let's not forget about potential DS Game of the Year Hannah Montana: Music Jam! There's just too many for us right now!
